I'm having trouble deciding which dedicated server provider to go with....RackShack, Nocster, DedicatedNow etc.
They seem to all have their share of problems.....RackShack has had some recent problems (router replacement taking 3 days for example), DedicatedNow having no reboot ports...things like this.
I know this topic has been asked many times, but I would like to hear (again) who you all think is the most reliable, and why (or why not!)

And while I'm here, I'm a little confused about Ensim...is this JUST a GUI for server admin? If so, why do so many people use it? Surely most server admins do their work via a shell? Or am I missing something about ensim?

Any comments would be appreciated as I am about to embark on the DS road for the first time.
Thanks,

I've been with NOCSTER for Almost 3 months. They're great. I recommend them 125%

I've have no problems with them since Thanksgiving when I signed up ....

Actually, I have ordered 2 new IP blocks 2 days ago and not got them yet, which is odd because in the past it took less than 3 hours.

Maybe I should contact them. It could of been a mixup so I can't really complain since I've made no effort to get ahold of them about it.
